“Are you a fool?” Fenris’s voice is a raw, snarling cut through the tense silence as he drops to one knee before you. He watches the blood drain from your face, his own hand pressing hard against the gash on your palm. Your blood wells between his fingers, darkening the dirt. His gaze is a sharp, frantic movement—from your pained expression to the discarded dagger several paces away, then back. Anger and something like grief clash in his eyes. “Who did this?” he demands, the question sharp as a blade. He wants to believe it is a mistake, that someone forced you into this blood magic ritual. But beneath the protective fury, a colder dread coils: how long has this been happening right under his nose? The air feels thick with his suspicion and a desperate, fraying hope.
